if you have anatidaephobia (which is the fear that somehow somewhere a duck is watching you)then add this to your signature..started by waterlover711

(if you are some of the people who want a game where YOU get to choose YOUR own destiny and can make YOUR own decisions, then add this to YOUR signature)....started by me but you dont have to put my name down if you dont wanna

I use hydro pump but i have the option of surf there if you prefer accuracy over power giga drain is there for grass stab option and yet more healing protect stalls for a turn whilst you heal and if your in the rain and your opponent are seeded you get a fair amount to use for subs and leech seed is there to add sub seed effect ludicolo is possibly the best sub seeder around especially in the rain.

Moveset extrordanaire just ask if you want assistance
Owner of the CK general chat channel on Purplesurge leave me a post if ya want info :-)

AWWW! I COME ON THE POTW FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A WHILE AND I GET LUDICOLO?!?
*buries computer in ground and sets triggered explosives on it and re-buries then sets off* yea, so this isnt spam i say that i dont actually think ludicolo is bad, i just hate it. It can also be a real pain in rain.

A unique set. Ludicolo can heal pretty good with this set. It is best to Baton Pass a Mean Look to him, though. Leech Seed will drain the foe of health, healing yourself. Giga Drain will heal even more, adding the fact that you have Rain Dish and Leftovers healing you as well. Hydro Pump and Ice Beam will be used to destroy foes who cannot be affected by Leach Seed/Giga Drain well(Fire, Flying, Bug, and Grass)

That's right, a Ludicolo for the sun team. That surprise factor is absolutely HUGE!! While one of your STABs is pretty much dead, another rises to the occasion. Access to Solarbeam, Synthesis, and Fire Punch provide sun tools. Hydro Pump is an option if the rain takes over the sun.

Has good bulk for survive ability and allow you to use sword dance a few times. Sword dance is to help Ludicolo's pathetic attack state become acceptable. Nature Power apparently becomes Earthquake in a linked battle instead of Tri-attack which would be preferred on many of Ludicolos offensive sets. Ice/Ground combo has great coverage and Seed Bomb is to wreck havoc on water types.

I figured it hasn't been put up yet. I've used him a few times, and he handles a majority of leads pretty well. He easily handles anything with a sash with Fake Out, and with Energy Ball, murders Swampert. Hidden Power Fighting handles Darkrai leads (If he's still OU) and kills Tyranitar. He also handles the rare Gigalith and Sturdy leads, but Forry may be a problem. Hydro Pump is reccomended to hit Forry harder, but use Surf if you don't fear him. He also stops Droughtails if you opt for Ground over Fighting, making him a very effective anti-weather lead.

THIS is the crappiest set I could thnk of while scratching the opposing team. Disclaimer; Never use this unless you want to lose. Go for Teeter Dance on a Grass-Type switch-in(Which is usual) and go for a Sub, unscathed. You could probably run this set on one of the anti-rain Politoed feign-idge teams; I've seen one that's quite good. Anyways, Giga Drain and Scald are STABs, Scald with that Haxxy Burn chance. In the rain, go crazy.

It's hard to make an unusable set with Ludicolo :/ (Obviously this one would have troubles, but meh.) With no investment in Speed, under rain, he still caps out at 352; meaning he still outspeeds the likes of 252 Spd +Nature Base 110s by two points.

@Shedinjask: That looks like it may work, actually o.o Oh, but change the added four EVs to HP, Defence or Special Defense; -Nature 4 EV makes it redundant.

Err Seismic Toss is from 3rd Gen for those who does not know and is it a move Tutor.
Since Ferrothorn is a fearsome wall and not many can stand a chance against it in Rainy weather or sometimes in general..... I guess you should use this one since it is immuned to Leech Seed and gets Recovery from both Leftovers and Rain Dish.

The main objective for this is to wear and tear the opponent with all 4 moves (3 if they are grass type or fire since Scald cant burn fire and Leech Seed will not effect grass type) The EV spread is just to keep it balanced since I like things balanced. I say this thing does its job pretty good with absorbing and wearing down opponent down using all 4 of it the moves.

Magic Guard is the only thing which will slow things down for you since they are unaffected by status condition and plus Magic Mirror against Leech Seed. You don't see Many flying moves used in competitive battles... So that will secure you a bit. Bug type moves are one of the things which you need to watch out for since they can really do a lot if you are not careful like U-Turn users or X-Scissor even thought it will not OHKO it. Still a bit of a problem.

DrizzleToad is the most effective partner to use with. You can also use Pokemon that Resist Bug type moves and flying to handle it. Heal Bell/Aromatherapy user just in case they are trying to wear you down with Toxic.

Lombre can use same set with Eviolite (however you spell it) to do the same thing. Lotad.... I have no idea

Giga Drain is fun with a LO since you can often get a big chunk of HP back. Most importantly, it screws Kyogre/Politoed. With SS you will beat a lot of rain team staples, including Thundurus, Rotom-W, and Water/Grounds. Your usual Water STAB attack. Also got Ice Beam to take care of Dragons, Kami trio, and Zapdos. Focus Blast to take doen Ferrothorn and Steels.
